And I know exactly what you need about wanting to hold tight when we need to loosen the grip. This is a crazy time for me. My chest gets physically tight when I think about him only having 2 years of high school left... I also know that feeling about the blog - sometimes I question whether I need to refocus my energies elsewhere, but... here I am for now.

Just went<br />on this journey with one<br />of my BFFs. I actually<br />wrote a bit about it for<br />my next post : ) As for<br />staying or going, I say,<br />leave the door open and<br />follow your heart. Remember,<br />it's supposed to be FUN!!<br />It's yours and you own it<br />and YOU decided when and<br />what and how much to share.<br />xx Suzanne<br />PS: That said, I'd miss you!Privet and Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384567378252265965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508253633174182206.post-1410012789159408972011-05-25T19:53:53.565-07:002011-05-25T19:53:53.565-07:00You take so beautiful pictures and your words are ...You take so beautiful pictures and your words are funny and inspiring.

You provide inspiration & a lovely perspective on things. I agree with Yvonne---just blog when you feel like it, no pressure from us! :) I totally get that teenagers don't want you writing about them. Just write about your perspective as a mother, not necessarily all the details that your boys want kept private. A very fine line, I know. Anyway, just wanted to tell you again that you are great and so is your blog. Thanks again for the insights you share with all of us!

I agree with Yvonne- just write when the mood strikes or when you need a place to let loose the thoughts that keep swirling... oooooor when your son gives you the go ahead to post some of those convos you guys have. :-)SortaSuperMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307808647351378016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508253633174182206.post-15468153937962297422011-05-25T06:54:49.795-07:002011-05-25T06:54:49.795-07:00So why not just blog when the mood strikes? it do...So why not just blog when the mood strikes? it doesn't have to be shit, or get off the pot! it can be whenever. besides, i would so miss you! i'm not a writer either. your photos, btw, remind me of a question i have for god one day.... why didn't he make deep purple begonias? they would be so lovely!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678325161211460823noreply@blogger.com
